accustomed Gramps users will certainly find it very easy. not so in case of newbies because Gramps does not really follow the windows conventions of presentation.

Gramps is writen in Python. For that reason the complete application name in the system is «gramps.py» (python applications are in *.py like java applications are in *.jar). Python applications can't run without python being in the system!

Gramps is not preintalled in Puppy linux but it would be possible to remaster Gramps in it if you decide to really process in best condition your genealogy because genealogic research is not somewhat for a short time: you will probably have to work continuously during years!

Using the modular system made by RSH is a lot more easy: you have only to download the application from his repository and start!

I propose to do so.

In the tutorial no browser needed! To avoid to have to refer to the specific use of browsers I give you a way to download from console. You can of course use each other way you are prefering!

Please open a console (1 through the Puppy menu and enter following code in it:

The SquashedFileSystem (sfs) for Gramps is now in your home directory named /root (this is specific for Puppy linux!) In other Linux systems your home directory has an own name within the /home directory (if your user name is obama, your home is named /home/obama). File system mean that all needed dependencies are already included in the *.sfs file!

(1 as LazY Puppy has the advanced system Vario-menu included, you find the console opening the group "favorites" (symbol Star) in the middle of the top bar with the icons corresponding to the divers branches of vario menus prepared by RSH. The usual Puppy Linux self explaining icones are now on the desk and you only need to hit on the console icone to open it and copy in it the above code line!

It opens and you see your home directory where you did download the squashed file system of Gramps:

you see the file LP2_Gramps-3.4.1.sfs now in your directory!

hit on it with the RIGHT mouse key and select the transaction LP2-sfs load and follow the instructions until Gramps is open!

How to find the starting icone for Gramps?
menu key in the bottom bar left > Office >> Personal Information >>> Gramps !

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: LaZy Puppy, but probably only LaZy-Puppy under the hundreds of Puppy derivates, is able to do it himsel hitting only one time on the icone for Gramps (if you find it without help as the menu system is very different from other Puppys): LaZy-Puppy downloads the LP2.*.sfs itself and start it immediately!
